Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda

Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda has been established as a full-fledged State University, having unique honour of being the “First Agricultural University of Bundelkhand Region”. The University was notified vide Government Order No. 301/79-V-1-10-1 (Ka) 27-2009 Lucknow and established on 2nd March 2010 under Uttar Pradesh Agriculture University Act (Sanshodhan) 1958 Gazette-Adhiniyam 2010. Initially it was named as “Manyawar Shri Kanshiram Ji University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda”, which was changed as “Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda” vide Uttar Pradesh Agriculture University Act (Sanshodhan) Adhiniyam, 2014, No. 1528(2)/LXXIX-V-1-14-1(Ka)-13-2014 dated 4th December 2014. The University has been established for the development of the agriculture and allied sectors in the Uttar Pradesh on the whole and Bundelkhand region in particular. It is committed to serve the Bundelkhand region with trinity concept, i.e. complete integration of teaching, research and extension for the development of agriculture and allied sectors in order to ensure food security and enhance socio-economic status of inhabitants. State Government of Uttar Pradesh has assigned the University with the responsibilities of (a) human resource generation and development, (b) generation and perfection of technologies, and (c) their dissemination to the farmers, orchardists and dairy farmers in the Chitrakoot Dham and Jhansi divisions. The Chirtrkoot Dham Division consists of four districts, namely Banda, Chitrakoot (Karvi), Mahoba and Hamirpur whereas Jhansi Division consists of Jhansi, Lalitpur and Jalaun (Orai) districts.

    Comparative Analysis of Trend in Area, Production and Productivity of Lentil in Bundelkhand Region of Uttar Pradesh
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-08-22) Singh, Anand Pratap; Rai, Rahul Kumar
    Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) is one of the very first crops that were domesticated and produced in the history of mankind and as of now, the importance of this crop remained static among the vegetarian population of the world. It stood in the second place among rabi pulses after chickpea in India, which is generally grown on residual moisture under a rainfed ecology. Bundelkhand region of U.P. and M.P. are considered lentil bowl which contributes nearly 25 percent to the total lentil production in the country. The mentioned period of study was from 1991 to 2021 and the study was carried out district-wise in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. There have been studies to examine the trends in lentil area, production and productivity. The compound growth rate was calculated for this purpose. For calculation of the degree of instability, the Coefficient of variation was calculated whereas the Area effect, yield effect and interaction effect were calculated for the relative contribution of acreage and yield in the growth of lentil production. The results discovered that growth in the area, production, and productivity of the Lentil crop in the Bundelkhand region registered negative growth and was found statistically insignificant. In instability analysis, variability in an area was estimated highest in Lalitpur (44.82) whereas the lowest variability was observed in the Banda district with 19.96 percent. In Production variability, Chitrakoot was highest with 56.66 percent and lowest in Banda with 36.50 percent; the highest variability in productivity was observed in Mahoba with 50.77 percent and lowest in Jalaun with 29.52. By the decomposition analysis, it was anticipated that area was one of the important factors in the overall development of lentil production with a convincing and parallel yield contribution.

    COMPARATIVE ECONOMICS OF PIGEON PEA CULTIVATION IN BUNDELKHAND REGION OF U.P. AND UTTAR PRADESH
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-08-26) Kumar, Vikas; Gautam, Yash
    Pigeonpea also known as Arhar, tur, and red gram is one of the important pulse crops grown in different parts of India. It belongs to family leguminosae, originated in India. This is the second largest pulse crop next only to chickpea crop. It is a multipurpose drought-tolerant crop that produces seeds for human consumption as a low-cost protein source. Plant’s green leaves and tops make excellent fodder and can also be used as green manure. The study was an attempt to examine the pattern of growth, instability and the cost and return of production of pigeon pea at state and district level. The time series data for the period 1980-81 to 2019-20 was collected from various published sources which was further divided into four sub periods. CAGR, coefficient of variation, cost and returns were calculated for estimating, growth rate and instability in area, production and productivity in pigeon pea cultivation. The results revealed that the area, production and productivity was declining with a compound growth rate of -1.89, -3.041 and -1.174 per cent per annum during the overall period of study of Uttar Pradesh and in case of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh area, production and productivity was declining with a compound growth rate of -0.6, -2.81 and -1.95 per cent per annum respectively. The instability analysis indicated the highest variability in area in Uttar Pradesh with 22.5 per cent CV value and 22 per cent for Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. The highest variability in production was observed in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh with 42.58 per cent CV value and lowest in Uttar Pradesh with 37 per cent CV value. CV in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh was 31 per cent and 19.7 per cent in Uttar Pradesh. The total cost of cultivation per hectare was revealed to be Rs. 47331.47. Per hectare return from main product was Rs. 39581.21. By product yielded Rs. 7682.69 per hectare. Keyword.

    An Economic Analysis of Mustard Cultivation in Bundelkhand Region of Uttar Pradesh”
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-08-26) Yadav, Pramod Kumar; Gautam, Yash
    Rapeseed-mustard (Brassica species) is the third most important oilseed crop after soybean and groundnut, contributing nearly 20-25 per cent of the total oilseed production in the country. They occupy an important position next to groundnut both in area and production. Rajasthan is the leading rapeseed mustard producing state in India while Uttar Pradesh ranked at second place. Mustard is a major Rabi oilseed crop of India. Mustard seeds are known by different names in different places sarson, rai or raya, toria or lahi. Rapeseed has greater potential to increase the availability of edible oil from domestic production despite the high quality of oilseed and its adaptability for various agro-climatic conditions. The study was an attempt to examine the pattern of growth, instability, cost and return of production of mustard crops at state and district level. The time series data for the period 1981-1982 to 2019-2020 was collected from various published sources which were further divided in to three sub periods. CAGR, coefficient of variation, cost and returns were calculated for estimating, growth rate and instability in area, production and productivity in mustard crop. The results revealed that the area, production and productivity was increasing by 0.73, 2.49 and 1.75 per cent per annum during the overall period of Uttar Pradesh and in case of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh area, production and productivity was increasing with a compound growth rate of 2.94, 4.36 and 1.38 per cent per annum respectively. The instability analysis indicated the highest variability in area of Bundelkhand with 47.3 per cent CV value and 17.3 per cent in Uttar Pradesh. The highest variability in production was observed in Bundelkhand region with 78 per cent CV value and lowest in Uttar Pradesh with 33.6 per cent CV value. The highest variability in productivity Bundelkhand region with 30.5 per cent CV value and lowest in Uttar Pradesh with 23.6 per cent CV value. The total cost cultivation per hectare was revealed to be Rs. 51695.00. Per hectare return from main product was Rs. 50629.36. By product yielded Rs. 3113.69 per hectare. Net return obtained was Rs. 2048.05 per hectare.
